Yeah, is in October 22! I can't wait to see it in the charts. I expect a Top 40 position.

Ray's new Myspace page is previewing three tracks from the album...

Ray Davies Official Myspace

...the official release date is stated there as the 29th, but Amazon and others are shipping on the 22nd. Go figure.

Is this his newest single? I hope not. I think its probably the weakest song on the album. Its my second least favorite.

I was listening to Ever Presant Past this afternoon , and the thought occured to me had Paul written it in the 80's it would have gone top 3 no problem as it's such a well crafted single , sadley i think it will struggle to crack the top 30 , the charts for older artists are so unfair today ?

Exactly! It's something that happens almost to everybody. Paul clearly lost his reign at the charts in 1985 (when he was 43). That year he achieved his last UK/US Top 10 hit as a solo artist: 'Spies Like Us'.   Since 'Press To Play' he was never able to achieve big hit singles again.
But in the other hand he produced memorable and successful albums. Just check out 'Flaming Pie' or 'Memory Almost Full'! The former sold almost 2 million and the latter 1.5 millon copies! That's not bad for a 55-65 year-old.
At this point, we just can expect to Paul releasing hit album, not hit singles. (Although a Top 20 like 'Young Boy' or 'Fine Line' is still a hit!)

OMG!   What happened with Ever Present Past in the UK charts! Is not present on the entire Top 75!
What a failure!  

Does anybody knows why?

Simple really. Second singles off albums that have already been out for a few months tend not to sell very well. Most people that would buy it already have it on the album. It's more a promotional vehicle to sell more albums.


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.
